Leader Lan Palace

Chapter 2594 Nine Volumes 76
The emperor also raised his eyebrows and thought about it, "Lan Da, Luan Da... Well, it's really possible."

Jiuye's family is Manchurian, and the names of the slaves in his mansion are reported in Manchu, and then translated into Chinese by the minister.There may be the same sound between the translations, but different words are selected.

What's more, Jiuye has learned Manchu and Mongolian since he was a child, and his Chinese is relatively poor.Therefore, even he himself may not be so serious about whether the slave's name is Lan Da or Luan Da.

Wanxi smiled and lowered her head, "If it's really the Luan Da from back then, then this time it's not Brother Long's fault, but Master Jiu's. Don't punish Brother Long, just punish Master Jiu. Just go."

"Let me think about it, how should I punish Jiu Ye? Take his portrait from the Ziguang Pavilion, remove him from the Xianliang Temple, or—remove all his sacrifices?"

The emperor shook his head helplessly and smiled, "Look at you being unreasonable, what is this, why did you punish Xiao Jiu?"

Wanxi frowned slightly, "Because if this Lan Da is Luan Da, then he is the old man left behind by Master Jiu. Luan Da ran wild in the market back then, and this temper was also acquired by Master Jiu back then. Master Jiu didn't restrain this house slave from going, so he told him to continue until now and cause trouble."

"On the contrary, Long Ge'er is pitiful. The old house slave left by Ama, even though he is a house slave, is also a senior person, just like an elder; Jiu Ye was not restrained back then, even Long Ge'er is not easy to restrain himself. no?"

The emperor could only laugh when he heard this, "Hmm, father and son, it seems that there is some truth in it."

Wanxi reached out and grabbed the emperor's robe sleeve, "If Lan Da violated the law, he should be punished naturally. No matter whether the Lord wants to send him back to Xuncheng Censor for retrial, or directly escort him to the Ministry of Punishment, he will be punished according to the law." That's right; it's just that Brother Long would feel a little wronged if he gets involved in this."

The emperor held back a soft sigh, and stretched his arms around Wanxi's shoulders, "You are right, he was wronged a bit. But whoever made him a loyal and brave man and inherited Xiaojiu's family business, then he should bear the burden." responsibility."

Why didn't the emperor understand that since the death of the fourth princess Nianhua and Xiaojiu, Jiu'er's heart to protect Fulong'an has become more intense.Even though it was just a trivial matter, and there was another major event hidden behind it, Jiu'er still argued for Fu Long'an.

In the final analysis, Jiu'er still cherishes those who have passed away, and cherishes the relationship with them back then.

Wanxi pouted, "When the master sacrificed to the mausoleum, he stopped by to drink wine for Duke Zhongyong. Didn't he take the opportunity to reprimand Jiu Ye?"

The emperor spat softly, "Why are you so narrow-minded?"

Wanxi lowered her head lightly, "Then what is the reason why you have to go to Jiuye's cemetery to drink wine this year?"
.
The emperor was at a loss for words.

Wanxi raised her eyes with a smile, and her eyes were as clear as glass, "I'm speechless today, it must be because of the way to visit the mausoleum that day."

The emperor frowned, and stretched out his hand to hold Wanxi's hand tightly. The emperor in his 60s, like a child who made a mistake, broke off Wanxi's fingers one by one, and pressed them back one by one, with nowhere to go.

Wan Xi's eyebrows were clear, "When Master wanted to talk to Master Jiu, Master Jiu was already unable to listen; Master, it is the most difficult thing in the world, but it is not as good as that moment when you can talk and listen." Listen to fate."

The emperor felt a pain in his heart, and he raised his eyes quickly, staring carefully at Wanxi's eyes.

Wanxi nodded encouragingly, "My lord, I'll listen. Compared to this, there is nothing more difficult in this world."

The emperor took a deep breath and said slowly, "Ms. Wang, she is going to sit down."

After hearing this, Wanxi nodded smoothly, without further ado, "I figured it's been two months, so this letter should be accurate."

The emperor scrutinized Wanxi's expression carefully, "Jiu'er, are you...really all right?"

Wanxi shook the emperor's hand and nodded firmly, "The Buddha said that 'to cross people is to cross oneself'. Although this matter is Wang's joy, why is it not my joy?"

As long as Concubine Shun and Lady Lan are the ones who are happy, it will be a great thing for her and Xiao Shiwu.

With Concubine Dun’s family background, a concubine who gave birth to an heir could be promoted to the position of concubine; while the position of concubine seems to be only two levels away from the position of imperial concubine, but in fact it is decades away ——Or even, it is a threshold that Bao Yi, a Han Chinese, cannot cross in his entire life.

She and Sister Lu were lucky enough to cross this road, and now the Empress Dowager and all the princes and princes who came from the Manchu clan are still worried about it. Therefore, it is too difficult for the Wang family to cross this obstacle.

What's more, it is not known that the Wang family gave birth to boys and girls.

Take a step back and say that Concubine Dun gave birth to the prince, but that child is also a child of half Han blood, just like Xiao Shiwu.What's more, in the harem of the Qing Dynasty, mothers were always more precious than sons, and now her younger fifteen and seventeenth sons are born by her; those who have not been born before, there are also Yongxuan and Yongxuan who were born by the imperial concubine Shujia; A pure-blood Manchurian Twelve Elder Brother Yong Xin.

All of them are ranked in front of the princes born by the Wang family, and they will not be able to get the child's turn.

But if Concubine Shun and Lan Guiren gave birth to an imperial heir, the situation is different.Based on the family backgrounds of the two of them, as long as there is a child, they will definitely be promoted, and it is even possible that they will be promoted once as soon as it is reported that they are happy, and they will be promoted again when they give birth to a prince. Jump two levels and become a noble concubine directly!
Besides, next year will be the year when the empress dowager will be 84 years old. If the empress dowager insists on using this excuse to encourage the princes of the clan to support Shun's concubine's children... Although she believes in the emperor's insistence, it will definitely threaten Xiao Shi Five, it will embarrass the emperor even more.

Even if Concubine Shun's child would not affect Xiao Shiwu's status, the Empress Dowager would risk everything to promote Concubine Shun herself.At that time, Shun Concubine, who has already been a noble concubine, may go one step further and become a queen.

In the future, even if Xiao Shiwu can successfully inherit the throne, there will be a queen mother and empress dowager in the harem.

The harem has always been different from the concubine and concubines, even if the empress dowagers of the two palaces are respected equally, the mother empress dowager is naturally higher than the holy mother empress dowager in every way, then her mother and son will be constrained by the concubine for the rest of their lives.

The lesser of two evils is the one, and the one who is happy at this time is the Wang family and not the Shun concubine, that is already the best news.

The emperor stretched out his arms to hold Wanxi in his arms, and leaned against her ear, "...the happy pulse has been fixed, so the man and woman have been fixed. In any case, don't worry, our Yuanzi will be fine."

Wanxi closed her eyes with a smile, and hugged the emperor back, "I'm not worried. Master, it's not because Wang is pregnant with a boy or a woman, but because of the father——Yuanzi is protected by his side, so I can't be more at ease. .”

Even if she can't do it, her father can do it; even if she wants to choose someone between her and the emperor to stay with Xiao Shiwu in the future, she would rather give up all her life to go to In exchange for the emperor to accompany their children.
.
On May [-]th, the emperor and Wanxi departed from the Yuanmingyuan for the Empress Dowager, and went to Mulan Qiuxi.

There are: Empress Dowager, Imperial Concubine, Concubine Shu, Concubine Rong, Concubine Shun, Concubine Dun, Lin Guiren, Lan Guiren, Xin Changzai, Ming Changzai.

Among them, the concubines Dun, who had just given birth and was still in a precarious state, even accompanied him, causing all the concubines to grin in private.

But to Wanxi's regret, Yuqin was also sick this time and couldn't drive with her.

At first, I thought it was all due to preparations for Xiao Shiwu's wedding. I was so tired that I would be able to recover after ten days and a half.

Yuqin herself was magnanimous, and said with a smile, "I am originally a Han girl from the south of the Yangtze River, and I have had my feet bound since I was a child, so the autumn magnolia is a joy to you, but a pain to me. This time I don’t have to go with the car, I feel much more at ease.”

"Besides, the child just married into the palace, Yuanzi has to accompany her this time, and it feels uncomfortable for the child to stay in the palace by herself... I can just stay and accompany her."

Hearing what Yuqin said, Wanxi felt relieved.A little bit is my daughter-in-law, even if she, Concubine Ying and others all drove away, there is still a little bit left to take care of Sister Lu.

It's just a good opportunity to take advantage of this opportunity to make Sister Lu and Dian'er's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law feel more deeply, then no matter who it is for, it will be good.

Wanxi called Xiao Shiwu and Dian'er to come, especially gave detailed instructions to Dian'er, and then drove away with the emperor.

Wanxi never imagined that her departure would lead to an eternal farewell with Sister Lu...
.
This May, Fukang'an made new achievements in the Jinchuan battlefield.

The Jinchuan chieftain stationed at the foot of the mountain built two watchtowers in the rain. Fukang Anye led [-] troops to attack the watchtowers in the rain, attacked and killed the native soldiers in the watchtowers, and destroyed the watchtowers.

The emperor was overjoyed when he got the news, and issued an edict to reward Fukang'an: "Strengthen the army and break the courage of the thief."

The emperor's letter was sent back to the capital from Rehe, and Xiao Qi also learned about it, and she was also relieved.

Although she had an unpleasant quarrel with him last time, and she even said that she would never see each other again, but when she learned that he had made meritorious service for the court in the military camp, she forgave him everything in her heart.

"Baobao, he is confused about small things, but in the end he understands big things, so I won't be angry with him anymore." Xiao Qi smiled at Bai Guo.

Bai Guo sighed, "Princess is the most important thing about my childhood love, but if there is even a little bit of forgiveness for Brother Bao, the princess will not take it seriously. The slave thought, the whole world can Other than his mother-in-law Jiu Fujin and his own sisters, only the princess is willing to do this to Brother Bao."

Xiao Qi lowered her eyes with a smile, "Auntie, you are right. After all, what I cherish the most is the love we grew up with. After all those years together, I finally know his true nature. He is just mischievous after all. It's just that she doesn't want to admit defeat, and when she's in a hurry, she has no intention of talking, and only cares about fighting for what she wants... But after all, he's not bad at all."

When Xiao Qi said this, his breath surged, and he couldn't help coughing twice.

Bai Guo saw it in his eyes and was anxious, so he could only persuade softly, "The princess always knows best in her heart. Then the princess must not take Bao'er's words to heart, let alone take it seriously."

Although the Seventh Princess said that she didn't bear any grudges against Brother Bao, the Seventh Princess still wanted to know whether what Bao Geer said was true or not, so she carefully asked someone to ask the Lifan Court to ask if there was any Report to the other concubines of Qiezuo.

The people in the Lifan Court didn't know that it was the Seventh Princess who asked, so they didn't hide it, and said that the Seventh Concubine's family had reported two concubines.

After the Seventh Princess heard the news, although she didn't doubt Qiezu's true feelings because of this, after all, she wanted to ask, but it was not good to ask Qiezu directly - she still felt a little depressed.

According to the princess's body, in previous years, she had a severe cough in autumn and winter. Generally, in the beginning of spring, when the windows and doors are opened and the temperature softens, it will be cured.But this year, at the end of May, the Seventh Princess is still coughing.

She was worried, and urged the princess to invite the imperial doctor, already several times.But the princess only said that it was because of the catkins and poplars floating outside at this time of year that she coughed continuously, and said that it was nothing serious, and that after a few rains the catkins and poplars would all be knocked down and everything would be fine.
.
I don't know if it's because of the bond between mother and child, or the bond between sisters, but Wanxi was fine in Beijing, but the cough that she suffered from preparing for Xiao Shiwu's wedding had already healed; but after arriving in Rehe, she started coughing again.

Wanxi didn't take it too seriously, she just said that Rehe is a mountain city, and the atmosphere in the capital is cooler and harder, and her body hasn't adapted to the cold when she just came here.

The emperor personally took the pulse, and Gui Yunjie also took the pulse, but most of them corresponded to what Wanxi said.

——It's just that Wanxi's body is weak, but she doesn't have any other illnesses.

The emperor ordered Wanxi to take good care of her body, and ordered Concubine Rong and Lady Lin to take care of her.
.
In July, good news came from Jinchuan again.The imperial court captured Sehongpu Mountain.

"Sejupu Mountain is very steep, and the Manchu and Han chieftain officers and soldiers all fought hard, and immediately took several of their big cards to suppress the thieves and bandits."

Among them, Fukang'an led the army to break through dozens of fortifications and wipe out hundreds of thieves.He also joined forces with Ersente and Hailancha to capture the southern bandit blockhouse of Sejupu Mountain, and then broke through all the blockhouses of Lamu Lamu, and took Rizeyakou.

Then enter the ancient fortress of Kejiade and attack the northwest village of Xunkerzong.After the thief sneaked into our army, Fukang'an retreated.The thieves attacked our division every night because they were close to Lewu, Fukang'an and Zhan repeatedly won...

Fukang'an's military talent was finally displayed on the Jinchuan battlefield, and as the war progressed, it became more and more vivid.

Because of the good news from Jinchuan, all the officers and soldiers were able to do their best. The emperor was overjoyed and frequently awarded the title of Batulu to the frontline officers and soldiers, as well as rewarding silver and flower feathers.

With this kind of joy, on the [-]th day of July, when the emperor and the empress dowager came to Juan'a Shengjing to serve meals, they were always full of joy.And because it was just on July [-]th, the emperor ordered the summer resort to prepare to put lanterns on.

One is to celebrate the solar terms, and the other is to summon the souls and pay homage to the officers and soldiers who died for the country on the Jinchuan front.

It was Xiaoqi's birthday on this day, so the emperor rewarded Xiaoqi with a special meal, and prepared a large and exquisite lotus lantern, which should be named "Liansheng", and sent it back to Beijing together.
